Synopsis:

From IMDb: “When a high school football star is suddenly stricken with irreversible total blindness, he must decide whether to live a safe handicapped life or bravely return to the life he once knew and the sport he still loves.”

Poster: D

Review: Once you get up close and personal with the poster, it still requires familiarity with the premise to understand why this football player has his eyes closed. It’s cheap theatrics that doesn’t help distinguish the film from the various other High School football related films that have come out in recent years.

Trailer: B

Review: On the surface, it seems like a hokey, self-centered football drama that happens to have a blind player as its focus. However, the trailer ultimately feels like it takes a unique and sometimes amusing approach to its premise. While I doubt it will be a success as a result, it could be a sleeper hit after it goes to home video.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
